Review on πŸ“· Enhanced Safety with PEAK Digital Wireless Back-Up Camera & Color LCD Monitor (3.5-inch) by Robert Capers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So far, so good. Useful for car safety

I was VERY skeptical to purchase this product after reading all the reviews. I have a Chevy Express van that I use for work and it's pretty hard to see, especially when reversing. I decided to try something cheap just to see if it works for my purposes. The product arrived quickly and the packaging was good. Further installation. Considering it was installed on a van I think the installation was pretty painless and my skills are above average. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the number plate is attached to my van and is in a niche, I was not able to install the camera unit as it is designed, hardly "universal". I installed it on the underside of the license plate and routed the wires to the reverse circuit on the passenger side. Finding the right cable wasn't difficult and I installed the unit with no problems. The screen mount is very flimsy but cheap. The camera and antenna unit are clearly visible as both are in the van. Sometimes I get a blue screen, but not very often. There are settings to change the screen so you can see in bright sunlight, which others have complained about. It's $100. What do you expect? Would I risk my life for this? No. But STILL it's better than nothing.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
